Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: أبجد at 4.6 against MBRL's 3.0. أبجد also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (2.6K vs 2). MBRL's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.5). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. أبجد sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. MBRL asks for nothing beyond the download.
أبجد holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: أبجد has 2.6K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
أبجد ships an update weekly, MBRL every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
